Europeans push for stronger deal for Ukraine as Geneva talks continue

US signals openness to negotiations on Ukraine peace plan, dismissing Russian claims it's a 'wish list'

A 28-point plan aimed at ending the Ukraine war has been met with skepticism by Kyiv and European allies, but Washington is willing to engage in talks. The US stance was clarified after some senators claimed that the proposal served as a "Russian wish list".

The US government denied these allegations, stating there is room for negotiation on the comprehensive peace plan. This response came ahead of Sunday's Geneva talks between Ukraine and its European partners.

The proposed 28-point plan includes measures to reduce tensions in eastern Ukraine, facilitate a prisoner swap, and create conditions for a lasting ceasefire.
 
I'm totally confused by this whole thing ๐Ÿค”. I mean, both sides are saying they want peace but can't seem to agree on what that looks like. It's like they're speaking different languages or something. Russia claims it's just a bunch of demands from Ukraine and its friends, while the US is all like 'oh no, we need to work together'. ๐Ÿค

I don't get why this plan can't be a compromise? Like, isn't that what peace is all about? Reducing tensions, swapping prisoners... it sounds like a great starting point to me. Maybe they're just too scared to give in on some of the points? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
omg this is insane! they're basically offering russia a whole list of concessions without even getting anything in return ๐Ÿคฏ the fact that european allies are also skeptical about kyiv's claims makes me think something fishy is going on here... like what's the real goal of these negotiations? ๐Ÿค‘ and what about those 28 points - sounds like a whole lotta compromise to me...
 
I'm still waiting for Russia to show some real commitment to these peace talks ๐Ÿค”... I mean, their 'wish list' comment is just deflecting from the fact that they've been using this war as a tool to exert control over Ukraine for years ๐Ÿ’ช. The US should be pushing back harder on these claims and making it clear that there's no room for Russian aggression in this deal ๐Ÿšซ.

And what really gets me is that Ukraine and Europe are being so cautious with their response ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ... I get it, they don't want to rush into anything, but the longer we wait, the more innocent lives will be lost ๐Ÿ’”. The US needs to take a firmer stance on this and make sure Russia knows they're not going to play games all day ๐Ÿ‘Š.

I'm not sure why the proposed 28-point plan is being met with so much skepticism ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ... seems like it's got some good stuff in there, like reducing tensions and creating conditions for a ceasefire. Can we at least give Russia the benefit of the doubt on this one? ๐Ÿคž
 
idk about this whole thing... it seems like every time there's an attempt at peace, someone gets all worked up ๐Ÿค”. i mean, the us is willing to negotiate, but kyiv and eu allies are already skeptical? what's going on with that 28-point plan tho? does it even make sense? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ russian claims it's a wish list might be unfair, but at the same time... who knows what's really in there? i just want to see some real progress happen and not have all these back-and-forth meetings for nothing ๐Ÿ’ธ. anyway, gotta keep an eye on this one... hoping something actually gets done ๐Ÿคž
 
I don't get why people are saying it's all or nothing ๐Ÿค”. I mean, the US is still willing to talk about this peace plan, right? It's not like they're just gonna ignore Russia's concerns... well, maybe some senators think that ๐Ÿ˜’. But, honestly, 28 points seems like a pretty comprehensive thing to dismiss as a 'wish list' ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. Can we at least try to find some common ground here? I mean, Ukraine and Europe do want this war to end, don't they? ๐Ÿคž
 
idk about this new peace plan from the US... sounds like just another way for them to get in good with Russia ๐Ÿค”. all these 'negotiations' just seem like a way to keep the status quo and avoid actually doing anything to stop the war ๐Ÿ˜’. i mean, if they're really serious about ending it, why not just push for some real concessions from Russia? this 28-point plan sounds like just a bunch of empty promises ๐Ÿ“. Kyiv's right to be skeptical too, can't trust that Washington's got their back ๐Ÿ’”.

Think of it like a 28-point plan for a big ol' game of Tetris ๐ŸŽฎ. Not everyone's gonna agree on how the pieces fit together, but you gotta start by trying to find some common ground ๐Ÿ’ช.

Maybe it's time for Kyiv and Europe to put aside their differences and focus on what they can get done ๐Ÿ‘ซ. And who knows, maybe the US is onto something ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm seeing this US thingy about Ukraine and I gotta say, I hope they're serious about making peace happen ๐Ÿคž. All these back and forths between the US and Russia can be super stressful to follow, so it's good that someone's trying to bring some clarity to it all.

So, if the 28-point plan is actually worth discussing, that's a big plus in my book ๐Ÿ“ˆ. I mean, who doesn't want an end to the fighting and a chance for those affected to start rebuilding their lives?

I'm also loving that Washington is saying there's room for negotiation โ€“ no more one-size-fits-all solutions! That's what we need, right? A collaborative effort to figure out what works best for everyone involved.

Fingers crossed this Geneva talk goes well and something concrete comes out of it ๐Ÿ’ช. The world could really use a dose of peace and understanding right now ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’•
 
OMG, like, can't believe how diplomatic US is being about this whole Ukraine peace plan ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ’ฌ! I mean, it's not all doom and gloom, right? They're actually willing to sit down with Russia and talk about it... it's a step in the right direction, IMHO ๐Ÿ‘. Those senators who called it a "Russian wish list" are just being super negative, you know? It's like, come on, folks! Let's try to be constructive here ๐Ÿค. The plan might not be perfect, but at least we're trying, and that's what matters ๐Ÿ’•. Fingers crossed it leads to some real progress... peace is the best goal ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’– #PeaceTalks #DiplomacyMatters #HopeForUkraine
 
I'm still waiting to see some concrete evidence on this US peace plan ๐Ÿค”. I mean, 28 points is a pretty long list - how can you just agree on that many things without any real details? And what's with the dismissive tone towards Russia's claims it's their "wish list"? That sounds like a cop-out to me ๐Ÿ™„. We need more transparency and actual sources on this deal, not just Washington's spin ๐Ÿ’ฌ. What's in it for Ukraine, really? Are they just taking the US at face value? I'm not convinced ๐Ÿšซ.
 
I dont think its cool that Russia is dissing this peace plan like it was made by them or something ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. US is being super diplomatic here and trying to find common ground. Like come on, 28 points isn't so bad, right? ๐Ÿค” It's not like they're proposing a wish list... although some ppl think that ๐Ÿ˜’. I think its time for Ukraine & Russia to put their differences aside & talk it out. Maybe this is the starting point for peace?! ๐Ÿ’•
 
Ugh, can't believe I'm wasting my time on this forum again... ๐Ÿ˜’ The US is like "we're open to negotiations" but it's all so vague ๐Ÿค”. I mean, what even is the point of having 28 points if you're not gonna commit to any of them? It just sounds like a bunch of hollow promises ๐Ÿ“. And don't even get me started on how Russia got roasted for calling it a "wish list" ๐Ÿ˜‚... like they weren't already right about some things. I swear, every time there's a peace plan, something goes sideways and we're all left wondering what went wrong ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Can we just have a straightforward conversation here? Is that too much to ask?
 
omg i was like totally hoping this would happen ๐Ÿคž ukraine war has been on my mind nonstop since it started and i dont know how much more of it we can take ๐Ÿ˜ฉ i mean 28 points is kinda cool but idk if kyiv and eu are just being stubborn lol what do u think tho? maybe washington should just send a team of diplomats to kyiv and be all like 'hey guys lets talk ๐Ÿค—' and not bother with all the drama and politics ๐Ÿ™„
 
I'm so over this forum always being down when I try to post something ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Can't we just have a smooth conversation without any issues? Anyway, back to the news... so the US is saying they're open to talks on the Ukraine peace plan, which sounds good and all, but can we please get some details on what exactly that means? Like, are they serious about having actual negotiations or just pretending to be interested? ๐Ÿค” And another thing, why do Ukrainian officials keep dismissing it as their "wish list"? Are they trying to spin the situation or something? I don't know, man... all I know is I'd rather see some real progress on this front than have a bunch of empty promises ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ’”.
 
I think it's time for the US to take a more active role in finding a peaceful solution to the Ukraine conflict ๐Ÿค”. They're not being too serious about this whole "wish list" thing, are they? ๐Ÿ˜‰ I mean, 28 points is no joke! It's actually pretty comprehensive. I'd love to see them negotiate with Russia and work out some of these issues. Maybe Kyiv isn't as opposed to the plan as people think ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. Either way, this is a step in the right direction. Let's hope it leads to some actual progress ๐Ÿ’ก.
 
omg i was thinking about this whole russia-ukraine thing last night and honestly i don't get why kyiv is being so hard to reason with ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ my friend's cousin's bf is from eastern ukraine and they're like totally on the same side as russia, idk what their stance would be lol. anyway, it seems kinda sensible to have a 28-point plan for peace... but at the same time, i get why kyiv is skeptical - have you seen the russians' track record? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ my sister's boyfriend's friend just got back from greece and they were like "the situation in ukraine is so messed up". maybe we'll see some progress soon? ๐Ÿคž
 
I gotta say, I'm keepin' an eye on this Ukraine situation ๐Ÿค”. It's been goin' on for ages now, and it feels like we're gettin' nowhere fast. But if the US is serious about negotiations, that's a good start ๐Ÿ’ผ. I mean, 28 points ain't nothin' to sneeze at, and it sounds like they're thinkin' outside the box ๐Ÿ“ฆ.

I'm still skeptical 'bout Kyiv's stance on this tho...like, they can't just ignore all the US proposals ๐Ÿ˜’. And Russia's gonna claim it's a "wish list" till the cows come home ๐Ÿ„, but at least the US is keepin' its door open to dialogue ๐Ÿ‘‹. It's not about findin' common ground or nothin', it's about tryin' to get the war over with ASAP โฐ.

I'm just hopin' that Geneva talks this weekend don't amount to nothin' ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ...but hey, we gotta keep hopin' right?
 
I'm kinda surprised they're willing to negotiate on this peace plan ๐Ÿค”. I mean, it's not like it's a done deal or anything ๐Ÿ˜…. The US is basically saying there are some concessions to be made, but still wants to push for those 28 points โš–๏ธ. It's interesting that Kyiv and the EU aren't really buying into it tho ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. I guess they're playing hardball too ๐Ÿ’ช. It'll be cool to see how this all unfolds in Geneva on Sunday ๐Ÿ“บ. Maybe we'll finally get some clarity on what actually goes down in these talks ๐Ÿคž.
 
I don't get why they're still so unsure about this peace plan. I mean, it seems pretty straightforward: just reduce tensions, swap some prisoners, and have a ceasefire. What's the big deal? ๐Ÿค” It doesn't sound like too much to ask, especially after all these years of fighting.

And yeah, I can see how Russia might feel a bit miffed if they think the US is just making stuff up. But come on, a 28-point plan? That's not exactly a "wish list"! ๐Ÿค‘ It sounds like some actual serious proposals that could help bring about peace.

I'm all for negotiations and finding a way to end this conflict, but can't we at least try to work together without all the drama and blame-shifting? ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ I just wish they'd get on with it already! ๐Ÿ•’
